Deborah's paintings are inspired by beaches, shore lines and industrial scenes. Her goal with every piece is to show the mood and hidden detail found in any scene, providing a way for all who view her work to experience a feeling of nostalgia and familiarity. She wants those who see her art to relate to the story and the subject matter that is embedded into the piece, and bring out the subtlety and nuance found in each image.

The sites she is drawn to are typically beach, industrial and rural scenes, working in studio and plein air.

Deborah works primarily with oil on canvas or board, and capture the beauty of waterways, beaches, industrial settings and rural vistas through differing balances of color, brushwork and paint application. She is classically trained painter having a BFA with a concentration in painting.

Painting is her passion and she enjoys capturing the true beauty and essence of her surroundings. whether she is in studio working from a still life or out in the elements painting plein air.
